FreeGeek is where I go to give my old hardware new life (donated upwards of $5,000 in gear there over the last five years) and also go to find random one-offs I’m missing like 36-48” 4-pin molex power cords. It’s a great place. As for a single volunteer (out of hundreds) I’m not surprised. There are many people that go in and out and some are old mainframe guys and some are 20-somethings in college. > On Dec 21, 2017, at 7:14 AM, Rick Engebretson <eng at pinenet.com> wrote: > > in south Minneapolis was fun to visit last Saturday.
